Unless the writer is greatly mis taken, thero is an ordinance on the city statute books requiring all prop erty owners to cut down thistles on their property, and tho street super visor to do the same in the public streets. Tho street and adjacent property, botween Front and Water streets, on Union, is becoming badly grown over by thistles, and they should be attended to. Napoleon Davis Returns. Hon.

WHERE IS OREGON? A Question for tho Board of Trade to Answer. A "Greengrocer" in Cincinnati. The writer is in receipt of a letter from Maj. "Win. Manning, of Cau yonville, this state, who with his wife and son, is on a tour of the eastern states. The letter is written from Jonesboro, Tennessee, where they are visiting friends. In the course of his letter he tells the following story, which, he truly says, should show to our board of trade the first question to be answer ed by them. "While in Cincinnati, where they remained several days, they passed bytho store of a green grocer, in whose stock some large watermelons from the south nttracted their attention. Stopping to enquire where tho melons were from, a short chat ensued, which showed plainly that tho major was not a Cincinnat iau, or even a resident of Ohio, aud caused the inquisitive greengrocer to enquire from whence tho party hailed. "We are from Oregon," was con fidently responded, when to the as tonishment of the visitors to "Pork opolis," with a look as blank as n sheet of plain white paper, the aforesaid "gg" asked: "Well, Where's Oregon?" Now it is evident that fellow was a "greengrocer" in more senses of the word than one. On being in formed as to tho exact segment in the earth's circumference which constituted our grand and glorious state, the aforesaid greengrocer re marked that he had been in Cali fornia. And such it is to bo a great and prolific state! Thisgreen grocer can bo found about three blocks from the west end of the great suspension bridge, in Cincinnati if any one doubts his existence. Therefore tho question which must bo answered by the board of trade and advertising committe0 first, is, "Where is Oregon?" A Speculation Party. Last evening, Mr. and Mrs. A. T, Gilbert entertained a number of their friends at their elegant resi dence on Water and Main streets, in honor of Mr. A. E. Holgate, of Day ton, W. T. Tho game of the even ing was "speculation," and after its close, aud tho discussion of tho usual delightful refreshments, danc ing was indulged in until a late hour. There were present: Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Gilbert, Dr. and Mrs. J. N. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Rosenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Mack, Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Manning, Mrs. Mattio A. Scott, Miss Maggie J. Cosper, Miss Meek, of Oakland, Cal., Miss Nettie Gist, of Portland, Or., Misses Lena Broymau, Boise, Gilbert, Church, VnnW agner, Minnie Breymnu, Colwell, and Messrs. A. E. Holgate, R.

Pretty Miss Parrlsh has matlo manv admirers, during 'her stay in this city, who will bo glad to learn that she is to return with heraunt."

Guard Whitley Shoots and Kills Win. Mansfield, a Prisoner at the Penitentiary. This morning after the hours for work had arrived, and whllo the prisoners in tho state poultontiary were quietly pursuing their daily duties, William Mansfield, a prisoner and a desperate character, entered the chapel from tho yard, and on being asked what was wanted i declared that ho wasn't colnc to work any longer. He was told by tne guard iu the chapel that he would have to co to work, that such conduct could not be allowed. Mans field said ho did not care, that ho wasn't going to work, aud that was all thero was of it. The warden then called in Guard Whitlow who was ordered to arrest Mansfield. Mausfield stood at bay, rcfusiuc to surrender, remarking, "I'll kill you, g d d n you, if you touch me." Warden Whitlev then nolnted his gun at Mansfield ordering him to tnrow up tils hands, saying that he was disobeying all rules of the in stitution, and that his entire action was mutinous. Mansfield said, "I know it. and don't give a g d d n if it is." Ho was airain ordered to throw un his hands, but ho only dared tho guard to shoot him. After a little further deliberation, the cuard steadilv nolnted his cun at Mansfield, who showed no signs of surrender, saw that further wait ing or kindness toward Mansfield was only inimical to good order, pulled the trigger a Hash, and Mansfiold dropped to the iloor, dead. News of the shootlnsr was im mediately sent to Sheritr Miuto and Justice O'Donald and tho latter summoned a jury, and went out to investigate tho case. At this hour they have not returued. Mansfield was the worst char acter confined in theprisou,xrobably, and was one of tho leaders iu tho famous prison break of 1883. Ho was indicted then for murder in the first degree, along with one Smith, another of tho leaders of that break, but they saved themselves on a flaw in the papers, orsomething,in court. The case was tested against Smith, and on tho failure to convict him, tho case against Mansfield was not prosecuted. Ho has murdered several persons in Eastern Oregon, and when searched this morning, after being killed, a long butcher knifo was found in his right sleeve. It is evi dent now, as it was to tho guard then, it was either the life of tho prisoner had to bo taken, or ho would have killed a guard. Whitley, tho guard who killed tho prisoner, is a Polk county man, nnd his father and brother were killed by Til Glaze, at Dallas, In 1878. Every person who lived hero at that tlmo remembers this famous shooting, nnd will readily recnll the son who is now the guard at the penitentiary. military Orders. Headquarters2nd regt.,0. N.
